Black Bean Beef Chili Recipe – delicious, easy-to-make, cozy stew perfect for cold Fall and Winter days!
Beef chili with black beans

Last week has been really busy for me, where my job combined with the fact that we had friends visiting and staying with us for several days created such a shortage of time, that I am extremely grateful that there exist easy dinner recipes, such as this ground beef chili recipe with black beans.

While I was cooking all the time for our guests, starting at breakfast and ending with dinner, I unsurprisingly was able to capture none of the delicious recipes I made over the course of last week. Instead, I am presenting you with this simple bowl of beef chili and black beans, which is a perfect dish if you’re tired and out of energy (which is how I feel this week) and want something simple, comforting and delicious. This chili recipe has a minimum of steps and zero complexity. Just throw ingredients in one pot, let it simmer, occasionally stirring, and you end up with a pure deliciousness.

    My Family really enjoyed this simple, but great tasting Chili. I have made other recipes that are also excellent, but definitely more complicated. This is the kind of Chili recipe that everyone loves and has just the right amount of heat, even for the kids. This recipe will be on my menu monthly schedule. Thanks Julia!

    Looooooove it!!!! Julia, did you know that Brazilians are bean eaters? I like your idea to use black beans instead of the traditional pinto beans in your chili recipe. Like the pics as well. You always do a great job!!!!!!!!!! xx
